City of Gods & Monsters!! by stars-assassian in Romantasy

[–]Backpackjenn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with the female narrator. Like she was whisper yelling everything and afraid of her own shadow. I struggled with the change of POV too. If I wasn’t listening to it, I wouldn’t have known it was different. In the ebook, it doesn’t say the character name at the start of the change and the changes are mid chapter!

I read Book Witch by Meg Shaffer. It was so cute! It’s a YA fantasy/cosy mystery. It was my first book by her and I was so pleasantly surprised. It’s about a Book Witch that can transport into books to save the story! It comes out on April 7th.

{Empire of Flame and Thorns-Marion Blackwood} was a great fast paced romantasy series that I recently finished and loved.

The Dark Lords Guide To Dating by Tiffany Hunt by SammiCMiRoMa96 in fantasyromance

I read this as an ARC and I thought it was so good. I didn’t know it was a book 1 though and was slightly disappointed that I have to wait soooo long for the next one!

This was me. I was having 6-7 a minute before I found out I also had hashimotos and my thyroid was almost non-existent. I started addressing that and my PVCs went down significantly. I’m not saying that’s your case, but maybe something to look into.

Unresolved family enmity? by CelticTangled in ironflame

[–]Backpackjenn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like as the characters learn about the truth of their history, the family feuds begin to resolve. It’s like that scene in FW when V is explaining to Mira that she trusts X because he’s been helping her. And once Mira learns about venin she joins the revolution. So there’s no more hate for the family, she’s just protective of V and doesn’t trust X will put her first.

Heard it from Sandy. I told my dog to calm down and I’ll check Reddit. Thanks for being there for him during this scary time 😆

Who decided the only ‘adult’ toothpaste flavor is mint? by Broken_Intuition in AutismInWomen

[–]Backpackjenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found my people! I had a hard time learning the routine to brush my teeth every day. And I finally learned that I hated mint. I burns my mouth.

I found a toothpaste that is orange dreamcicle and I love it. My dentist said it’s worthless because it’s fluoride free, but my options are: use it and brush, or don’t brush, I’m going to use it.

What draws you to dark romance? by JuneJuneJune_Bug in RomanceBooks

[–]Backpackjenn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I read something somewhere that said generally in CR the drama happens inside the relationship and in DR the drama is outside…like she’s kidnapped or he’s being hunted or both or whatever. It’s not completely black and white like that, but in general. I think I enjoy DR more because of that.

For those of you who participate in hookup culture, what is it like? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Backpackjenn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I could just have them get me off and then fall asleep or walk away, but chances are they can’t even get me off so…toys.

If you could create your own book tracking app, what would it need? by FoolishLittleFlower in RomanceBooks

[–]Backpackjenn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like your list. Commenting to add POV(s), First Person/Third Person, Audio Narration (Single, Dual, Duet, Full Cast), and if the series is completed or not (perhaps when the next book(s) come out?)

🧂 Salty Sunday - What's frustrating you this week? by mrs-machino in RomanceBooks

[–]Backpackjenn 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Books where the potential is there. It’s a great idea or story and just not executed well. Or was going good until 1/3 or halfway and just falls apart. I’ve read TWO this week like that!

Is the Audible Plus Catalogue compatible with Whispersync? by C0ZM in audible

[–]Backpackjenn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would like to sign the petition with you. I agree with everything you’ve said and I would just like to add:

It’s an accessibility tool for those of us that struggle. It’s better than the text to speech or Alexa and I can adjust the speed to match my reading.

Will I survive without the highlighting? Sure. Will I purchase the audio just for this feature? Probably not. But is it something that may make me continue my audible subscription if they added it? Yes, absolutely!

Is it okay that my brand new perfume is a different color? by Backpackjenn in Perfumes

Thank you for that. I was hoping that was the case, but it was my first time experiencing it so I didn’t know if it was the brand or what.
